2.8 TFT Touch Shield V2.0

This is a multifunctional Arduino/Seeeduino/Arduino Mega compatible resistive touch screen. It can be used as display device or sketch pad.Compared with the previous version, 2.8’’TFT Touch Shield V1.0, we replaced the screen driver with a more professional chip, ILI9341 driver, providing different pin-saving SPI communication without sacrificing the data transmitting speed. Due to the communication method change, programs developed for the original version need modifications before being transplanted to the new version. With a SD card module integrated also on this shield, this shield reserves great room for other expansions to your project.

Hi,Johannes Glaser,Pins are using:D0,D1,Pins Used for TFT Screen Control(D4,D5,D6,D7),Pins Used for SPI Interface(D10,D11,D12,D13).Pins Used for Touch Function(A0,A1,A2,A3).----D2,D3,D8,D9 are free.with a happy day~

Hi,Sorry,It can not support to display animated gifs. displaying an animation need other support,and TFT shield V2.0 can not provide support.It can display the image 2~3 seconds per one.maybe its new revision can display animated gifs later~thanks

Hi there, it uses the SPI for the SD card operation. So you can use the arduino SD library. **https://www.arduino.cc/en/Reference/SD** . you also can refer to **https://www.instructables.com/id/UNO-R3-28-TFT-Touch-Screen-With-SD-Card-Socket-for/** thanks.

OK, here's my solution....Sparkfun Screwshield on bottom (Seeedstudio Screwshield should work, too), Arduino Pro stacked on Screwshield, then 2.8 TFT stacked on top of Arduino. Programs fine. I like the Arduino Pro because it has a battery connector. Just plug my 3,7v LiPo battery in and I have a nice portable development platform. Only caveat is that you must have long header pins on your Arduino.

Ron, I read your question, then 10 minutes later I was kickin' around Github downloading libraries for this TFT screen and came across a possible solution for you. I didn't do any of this work, just happened to stumble across it... https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/TFT_Touch_Shield_V2/commit/f21a027d2cf3362f1ea99edba79f6e8358d9ca2c

Hello, seems that it need a bit more in-depth debugging that we can do via comments.
Please contact techsupport@seeed.cc with your set up, the code you’re using, and any errors you might be getting.
Thanks.
